Didnt notice. Still, might be possible. As long as it doesnt go over 70c too often

DO NOT GET A CELERON!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a Celeron 1.7Ghz and it is the worst POS ever!!! it acts like a 300Mhz P2, and I have the utmost regret from buying this over the P4 or Athlon.

athlon xp, the celeron's are a joke now, they were good in the good old days of the p2/p3's now tey scusk. even the GEforce FX sucks just like the celeron

If theres no rush and ur not skint wait a while and get an athlon 64

athlon is best for desktop pc's because its relatively fast and inexpensive compare to intel p4. pentium4 is best for notebooks because it cools better which is very importmant for small laptop pc.

celeron and duron lack the L2 cache..they're pretty much good for nothing. if you're goin to be gaming on that notebook don't even think about it.

DEFINATLY Athlon XP 1700
I bought an Athlon XP 1700 for 39.99 and I overclocked it to 2.4GHZ (11x220).

I'm not sure about Athlon performance in laptops, but I would definitely go with Athlon over Celeron.

without reading all the BS

two architectures Pentium and Athalon

Pentium is a better number cruncher sheer computing beast. the celeron is a pentium with some of the pins disabled.

Athalon is a floating point operation (geometry) whiz. Its for games. The duron is the shitty version of the athalon.

celerons when you buy the ones from over seas, can be over clocked like a dream, no over heating, very fast with floating point. cheapo gamer chip.

No offense, but that is an obvious answer. The Athlon WITHOUT A DOUBT. It will outperform the Celeron so badly. How do I say it? The IPC (instructions per clock) on the Athlon is 9. On the Celeron, it's 6 at best (I think). The Athlon should have 512k L2 cache, while the Celeron has a measly 128k.

The Celeron will be MURDERED by the Athlon.

Celeron = Spitfire
Athlon 2200+ = F-22 Raptor

You can't say the Athlon is better for desktop. It's just a matter of what you're willing to pay for performance. Intel currently owns AMD in the desktop market (but that may change very soon - Intel's upcoming Prescott vs A64).

And no, Pentium 4 is not the best for notebooks. In fact, it sucks for notebooks. You'd want to get a Pentium M CPU (1MB L2 cache) - a 1.4GHz Pentium M is faster than a 2GHz+ Pentium 4 M. (Pentium M is the CPU that comes with the Centrino wireless package).

ATHLON!!!
